“When Peter\u2019s posts first showed up here, he had moderation power. He and Unz got into some sort of a tiff and Unz took it away.”<\/p>\n
Peter Frost writes<\/a>: I made a decision to continue with my postings until the end of this month. If the situation doesn\u2019t improve, I won\u2019t continue in the new year.<\/p>\n The legal environment in Canada has changed over the past few months, especially with Bill 59. It\u2019s not just the $10,000 fine. I could also be put on a list of \u201cterrorists,\u201d which would make it hard for me to travel abroad, get my passport renewed, or do jobs that require RCMP clearance (yes, I\u2019ve done that kind of work).<\/p>\n In Canada, human rights commissions have become quasi-judicial bodies with police powers. Like the police, they prefer to go after \u201csoft targets.\u201d It\u2019s like the police officer who hands out speeding tickets to little old ladies on Sunday morning, as opposed to going into a tough neighborhood.<\/p>\n For our human rights commissions, a soft target is a blog that features long, rambling comments about \u201cniggers,\u201d \u201chomos,\u201d and \u201cJews, Jews, Jews.\u201d That\u2019s a slam-dunk prosecution.<\/p>\n No one wants a court trial that may turn out badly for their side. In that case, the tables can be turned, especially if the prosecution is trying to get a conviction under a controversial law. This was the case with Philippe Rushton. After a while, he gained a certain immunity from prosecution because he was too articulate, too calm, and too scholarly. The Ontario premier and the Ontario Provincial Police tried to make him look like a nut case \u2026 and finally gave up.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t fear being prosecuted for stupid things I write. I can defend my beliefs in a courtroom, if need be. But I fear being prosecuted for stupid things that others write.<\/p>\n I wouldn\u2019t shame them. I would just hit \u201cdelete.\u201d After a while they would get the message. It\u2019s called dog training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “When Peter\u2019s posts first showed up here, he had moderation power.
